Students can view specific clips (less than one minute each) of how to solve specific examples related to concepts in a variety of mathematical disciplines.
How can you use it?
Teachers can show clips to students for a different explanation or a different perspective of how their regular teacher explained the concepts.
This is specific for a mathematics classroom but runs from pre-algebra and basic math concepts all the way up through calculus, so there are a number of grade levels that can benefit from this tool.
Why would you use it?
Students can use this in the classroom for reinforcement and it can also be used at home for remediation.
The teacher can assign a problem, students can work through it and then view the video for confirmation of their technique.
